10 Video Game Side-Quests That Were Better Than The Main Story

You might be thinking what kind of side-quest could top the main story of Red Dead Redemption - and you are right to think that, but it's no coincidence this quest is uniquely tied to end of the game, and is made entirely brilliant simply by what happens to John Marston in the end.

It all begins as you meet a peculiar man in a top-hat who subtly and slyly hints at having a strangely intimate knowledge of Marston's life. The questline evolves as you do more and more for this man, his hints always leaving you wondering just how much he knows about you and your future.

Eventually, Marston snaps and pulls a gun on him, but when he shoots it is revealed the man never existed at all. It's an absolute mind-bender and when tied in with the end events, it leaves one hell of an impact.

So much so that after the initial shock of John's demise, you can't help but wonder what it all means.
